Storage advice
For optimal storage of White Wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). Avoid fluctuations since temperature swings can damage the wine. For longer-term storage keeping it around 55°F (13°C) is acceptable but cooler is preferable for preserving freshness.
- Light Exposure: Keep the wine away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent UV damage which can spoil flavors.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains intact and moist to prevent oxidation. Avoid storing white wine in a refrigerator for long periods unopened as drying corks may lead to premature aging.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork in contact with the wine preserving cork moisture and preventing air entry.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 70% to keep corks from drying out and shrinking which can lead to oxidation.
- Opened Bottles: After opening reseal tightly (use original cork or wine stopper) and refrigerate. Consume within 3-5 days to preserve quality as exposure to air accelerates deterioration.
